BlockQL

BlockQL is a block-based programming language specializing in queries and spreadsheets. It is my first attempt at a block-based programming language. It is implemented in Rust.

Queries can be written in:

  • C
  • CodeQL
  • D
  • Java
  • Python
  • R
  • Rust
  • VBA
  • More languages coming soon

Spreadsheets can also be imported in the following formats:

  • *.dbf
  • *.dif
  • *.fods
  • *.ods
  • *.ots
  • *.slk
  • *.uos
  • *.xlsx
  • *.xls
  • More formats coming soon

File format

BlockQL has 2 file formats:

  • *.bloql (project file, shortened form of BlockQL, official pronunciation is block L)
  • *.bloqs (spreadsheet file, official pronunciation is blocks)

Syntax

Hello World

"Hello World"

Basic query

-- DEF Coin = integer(250)
import shop
usr: "ANNA" has "Banana"
usr: "ABBY" has "Coin{12}"
usr: "SHOP" has "Banana{tc:250{Coin}}"
-- tc: Total cost
join "ABBY","SHOP"
return "SHOP" getResponse "Purchase"
-- Should return:
"SHOP: User ABBY cannot buy the banana, ABBY needs 238 more coins"

Note shop is a demo library that has noty yet been created.
